busy few days, etc.

thursday night was craft night for us girls again...at my house. we had a blast as we always do, but it was a late night...about 1:00 or 1:30 by the time everyone left. then the next night was a family temple trip, but b/c the session was full & we were getting ready for a yard sale, we stayed home. but we did baby-sit a couple of the kids in what turned out to be a LATE night....11:30 maybe. the kids sure had fun, though. the next morning was early with our yard sale preps and stuff. it turned out to be a success...we made about $80.00 or so. cory's parents had spent the night with us and went yard selling (it was a neighborhood affair). they came back with a double stroller for me to look at. it was in great condidtion and i liked that the front seat could either face forward or backward, depending on who needed entertainment or who needed not to be touched or looked at. they also got each of the kids a stuffed animal which has been desperately latched on to. why those were such a hit, i cannot figure. ian got a Barney (odd at first since he never watches barney) but since i've realized he liked it b/c it was a dinosaur. he runs around growling & roaring that barney at everyone. elise's was a teddy bear that she just adores. its like a teal color with blue tips (sort of like the teal was airbrushed with blue) that has a tag that says its name is blueberry. LOVES IT! anyway, after the yard sale, we at breakfast at golden corral with some of cory's family (which was delicious!) and fun. afterward we hit the road to cory's parents house for a birthday party for ericka. we had a great time visiting with everyone & of course the kids were having so much fun they had to be dragged out! yesterday we actually had a fairly relaxing day, no one to visit, no one to visit with us except our home teachers in the evening. it was a nice catch up after the weekend. now....on to this week!
